Thanx ...and yes. It is realy a big trouble with lot of users. I tryed ldap, but hence my LDAP server is an Novel eDirectory, I am not realy familiar with it and couldn't find any advice on google to configurte it right(the problem I have is to use the right filters while searchyng the LDAP accounts and rights). I read about winbind. ... would it be a solution for me, or better try it once again with LDAP? I need also do manage access to directoryes with restrictions. maybe pam could do that. ... some suggestions?

Due to this, you have a decent User and Group set of controls you can place on the files/directories that you choose to share with Samba. Without having users in the passwd file, Samba wouldn't be able to utilize those access rights. Yeah, it can be a paine, but it does a good job. If having multiple user account information to track is a pain, may I suggest converting to NIS or LDAP for user authentication? -Rob Alexander Varga wrote: >please help me. >Why I cannot create a user with smbpasswd without having this username in >/etc/passwd??? >################### >bash-2.05# smbpasswd -a testaccount >New SMB password: >Retype new SMB password: > >Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user testaccount. >Failed to modify password entry for user testaccount >bash-2.05# >############## >my global in smb.conf >[global] > workgroup = J9_C > server string = %h server (Samba %v) > dns proxy = no > log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m > passdb backend = tdbsam smbpasswd > invalid users = root > passwd program = /bin/passwd %u > socket options = TCP_NODELAY > >I compilled my samba using >./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass >--with-acl-support >and made a solaris package. > > > > > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
